Derivation of the bond–slip characteristics for FRP plated steel members

Strengthening of steel structures with fiber-reinforced polymer composites

“…This approach provides the theoretical basis for the existence of an effective bond length which has also been observed in FRP-to-steel bonded joint tests [51,53,56,84]. In this approach, the bond strength depends on the interfacial fracture energy as given below [51,67,85] instead of the strength of the adhesive:…”

Static analysis of shear flexible beams and frames in adhesive contact with an isotropic elastic half-plane using a coupled FE–BIE model

“…The interest for contact problems and the analysis of the relevant interface reactions concern natural sciences, such as geology [1], as well as many engineering fields, such as aeronautics and space applications [2], structural strengthening of concrete with FRP composites [3][4][5], mechanical engineering [6][7][8], and electronics [9].…”

Stainless Steel Bonded to Concrete: An Experimental Assessment using the DIC Technique

“…Xia 2005;Akbar et al 2010;Smith 2010;Wan 2010;Wan et al 2014;Biscaia et al 2016aBiscaia et al , b, 2017b, the focus is on bonded joints between FRP composites and concrete but recently there have been more studies on both steel (only with EBR technique) and timber structures (with both EBR and NSM techniques). Still, in reinforced concrete (RC) structural strengthening, stainless steel (SS) is a possible alternative to mild steel or FRP composites due to its durability.…”
